Who we are
We're a two-person technology consultancy with the kind of depth usually locked inside large firms — and none of the overhead that comes with them.
Between us, we bring hands-on experience across cybersecurity, networking, project delivery, and program governance — built across the UK, Australia, and industries where getting it wrong isn't an option.
We work with mining, energy, critical infrastructure, finance, and the organisations that support them. We're also a natural fit for not-for-profits and SMBs that need enterprise-grade capability without enterprise-scale cost.
No account managers. No juniors. Just experienced practitioners who integrate with your team and focus on outcomes that matter.
Our reputation was built in the hardest environments; high-pressure programs where market expectations, shareholder scrutiny and supplier relationships all converge on a single delivery date.
In those moments, organisations need someone who can hold the line across competing interests — balancing client and supplier outcomes, navigating confidentiality, and finding a path forward that works for everyone. We've been trusted to do exactly that, even by parties on the other side of the table.
That's what Targeted and Trusted means to us.
Case Studies
Cybersecurity Roadmap — Critical Infrastructure Operator
The challenge
A critical infrastructure operator needed to map its security posture against Australia's mandatory regulatory obligations — and translate that into a practical, board-visible improvement program.
What we did
• Conducted a risk-based assessment of critical assets, interdependencies and current security posture against the Australian Government's critical infrastructure cybersecurity obligations
• Baselined gaps and defined measurable objectives, timelines and ownership within a multi-year roadmap — phasing remediation, protective technologies, incident response and staff training
• Established governance structures including executive sponsors, a risk committee and clear accountabilities; supported budget allocation, resource planning and vendor selection
• Ensured the roadmap addressed both OT/IT and supply chain considerations
• Integrated continuous monitoring, compliance evidence collection and regular tabletop exercises to demonstrate progress to regulators and boards
The outcome
A structured, fully governed cybersecurity roadmap aligned to mandatory reporting requirements — giving leadership clear visibility of compliance alignment and residual risk reduction over time.
Technology Transformation — Complex Infrastructure Program
The challenge
A major infrastructure transformation required careful orchestration across hybrid on-premises and cloud environments, with multiple parallel business-led initiatives running simultaneously.
What we did
• Established delivery standards, resource allocation practices and performance metrics across the program to maintain quality and predictability
• Oversaw design delivery and alignment to target state architecture
• Managed hybrid complexity — including secure connectivity, identity federation and data synchronisation — across concurrent workstreams
• Implemented rigorous phased cutovers, rollback plans and shared governance runbooks to keep teams aligned and risk contained
The outcome
Improved infrastructure resiliency, simplified access management and measurable cost reductions — delivered without disrupting ongoing business operations.
